Last inning Ford and Sparky were talking about how it was Magnum PI day at the stadium with a bunch of fans dressed up in Hawaiian shirts and fake mustaches.  Coming out of the break after the pitching change, they played the theme song.  Whoever does the music on the radio does a good job.

Is it not producer/engineer Matt Boltz?

he’s pretty sharp at finding music to match the theme of whatever is going on, but when it’s just the normal return from a break, he plays some awful stuff (unless crap 90s pop rock is your jam).

 

[David Dennison 18652]

Please be good.

[Overlord 366]

Oh fuck, it’s Montero. 

[Rip76 4913]

Wait.  Something happen to Verlander?

3-0 in the 6th and Montero?

I think it was a pitch count thing.

Fair enough, maybe I only pay attention when it fits a theme

Why does Singleton now seem to be connected to JV?

Does JV have a soft spot for players batting in the 100’s?

 

1 hour ago, UTexasFight said:

 Because they bat .200 when they start with JV!

Like I said…

and like we all expected….

[Gut Wagon 8052]

I really doubt giving up back-to-back jacks by Dubon and Maldy is something Holton will tell the grandkids about. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Maldonado and Dubon have more home runs than Yordan since Aug 6. And I have as many as Yordan.

[UTexasFight 9376]

Royce Lewis gets twins within 5-4 in the 6th….but DK on in relief in Minnesota 

[UTexasFight 9376]

I know what Singleton will be practicing this week.

Shh...pretty soon surly will be diagnosing him with another broken hamate.

I would be nice if he snapped out of it though.

3 scoreless in relief so far.  He's keeping them in it.

Gatti's buffet is kind of like a salad bar

[David Dennison 18652]

Uh oh. Too many runs.

I mean a he was obviously legitimately hurt last august. He missed a bunch of games and hit worse than maldonado. It’s not our fault that the astros lie about injuries. 

[WBT 20415]

Look at JP!  He's passed Meyers and Dubon in OPS and is knocking on the door of .700.

Was just thinking thinking that.

[WBT 20415]

Trailing by a run late with runners on base?  Maldonado bats.

Up 12-0?  Diaz pinch hits.

[tx 3 putt 76314]

Diaz baby !!!!

Don't try to make sense of it.

Genius move 

[WBT 20415]

Altuve looked like me in slow pitch softball lunging at that one.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

If only we didn't blow Frambers 7 inning no-hitter on Friday we could be co-leading the division

[WBT 20415]

damnit Jake

[Limp Brisket 546]

Lol 

[Mez2 4021]

Hahahaha, you suck Meyers

[runthebone 7932]

That got out of hand.

[Overlord 366]

I’ve been oiling my knives, so I wasn’t fully paying attention. 
 

But did Jake Meyers get struck out looking by a position player?

GTFOH

DFA that bitch

Diaz has will have the most unlikely 25 home run season in the history of baseball.
